I know with all the problems that's going on right now (cancelled orders, no good deals for BF weekend, etc) that Sephora has had many people feeling pretty down but I just saw this on the main page :: 25 Days of Merry Crazy Giveaway. Each day in December, they will be featuring a different deluxe sample and 100 point perk. Here are the perks so far

that's exactly what i was thinking about the yellow diamond... it will likely show up in a traveling box some day and is the ana sui coffret still available? will it be in the spring when we get double points for fragrance purchases? what to do, what to do... at least i've got a couple of days to decide still, right?

i need to start going to the macy's and nordstrom's cosmetic counters and see what they have for minis! i rarely get out of the house and to the mall, and when i do steve is so ready to get in and get out lol. i really should start going out with my ladies and leaving the kids at home!

luckily (or not lucky, depending on how you look at it lol) my bank account just can't handle that right now with christmas coming up! that **bleep** put in a hard spot, as we weren't really expecting to have to buy much for the kids this year (because disneyland would have been a major part of their christmas gift) but that's clearly out of the picture so it's been a bit of a scramble. i'm buying as much as i can get away with from sephora for gifts for others plus stuffing my own stocking to stock up on points so i can get what i can haha. and crossing my fingers that they do this again next year! i know i for one will certainly be hoarding my points until then just in case

so now i need to narrow it down... i want yellow diamond because i have a bright crystal and a crystal noir, so it would complete my set. i want downtown because i am in love with it. i love the anna sui. i want the see by chloe (though i can cross that off my list i think, since there is the .5 oz paintbrush bottle so almost a mini) and i really want to know what the 25th is, since it looks so much like chloe! but they've already had that one, and i already bought the mini plus lotion set for $15. what's a girl to do!

ps: sephora, if you're listening... my birthday is in a week so if you could just go ahead and send me one of everything, that would be great.

Re: 25 Days of Giveaway

Is it possible to get more than one of each mini? I have looked for the definitive answer, but have not found it. It does seem that some have ordered more than one of certain minis. Point hoarding paying off. Thought it might be good to have extras for trading. The Anna Sui is a beauty and the Gucci looks great too, plus some others too. Mini heaven. The plain ones don't do much for me. The Candy and Gucci Flora are so cute.

If any of you are interested in mini porn, Poshy posted a major collection on my last heart party. It is swoon worthy.

Re: 25 Days of Giveaway

Me too, I didn't realize we couldn't go back. Wish I would have seen this post earlier, I waited 3 days to place an order hoping for something I liked finally gave up and placed an order. I will keep my fingers crossed for the "Downtown" perfume, its okay. I have been to busy to check on the posting!

I'm still hoping for rouge to get some kind of offer before the year is over!

Re: 25 Days of Giveaway

the ones up to day 14 have the full images in the page source, the ones from 15-25 only have the bottom half, so I've been guessing based on the bottom half of the minis to guess the image url of the top half. So far I have: (Day 19, can't figure out the top half but the bottle has the name anyways)

(Day 21, haven't figured out top half but I believe this is See by Chloe)

(Day 23, Anna Sui La Vie De Bohème)

(Day 24, I think this is Narcisco Rodriguez for her Eau de Toilette)

(Day 25, I can't figure this one out. The bottle looks like a Chloe but the color is all wrong. Maybe someone else here will know!)
